Oxidative Stress and the ER Stress Response in a Murine Model for Early-Stage Alcoholic Liver Disease by James J. Galligan, Rebecca L. Smathers, Colin T. Shearn, Kristofer S. Fritz, Donald S. Backos, Hua Jiang, Christopher C. Franklin, David J. Orlicky, Kenneth N. MacLean, Dennis R. Petersen

“…Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a primary cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States and constitutes a significant socioeconomic burden. Previous work has implicated oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in the etiology of ALD; however, the complex and interrelated nature of these cellular responses presently confounds our understanding of ethanol-induced hepatopathy. …”

Synaptic markers are associated with cognitive decline after accounting for amyloid burden among an at-risk Alzheimer’s disease cohort by Elizabeth M. Planalp, Rebecca E. Langhough, Erin M. Jonaitis, Carol A. Van Hulle, Rachael E. Wilson, Gwendlyn Kollmorgen, Clara Quijano-Rubio, Ozioma C. Okonkwo, Barbara B. Bendlin, Sanjay Asthana, Kaj Blennow, Henrik Zetterberg, Sterling C. Johnson

“…Moreover, a SNAP-25/NPTX2 ratio of synaptic dysfunction explained more variance in cognitive decline than other biomarkers alone. This work provides support for potentially useful biomarkers of synaptic function implicated in the clinical syndrome of AD, aiding in future diagnosis and staging efforts.…”

Moderating effect of self-regulation on the relationship between adversity quotient and family social support on academic procrastination in thesis completion by Diya Rofika Rahmawati, Dewi Kusuma Wardani, Leny Noviani, Riyan Yuliyanto

“…Self-regulated learning is demonstrated to moderate the relationship between adversity quotient and academic procrastination in completing theses (t = -2.126, p < .035), while self-regulated learning moderates the relationship between family social support and academic procrastination in completing theses (t = -4.831, p < .000). The empirical implication of this study is that during the theses preparation process, final-year students may face psychological challenges, so it is not uncommon for them to postpone work by introducing self-regulated learning roles, difficulty intelligence, and family social support can help students in suppressing the problem of academic procrastination in theses completion.…”
